"Though Fonda, Hayden and Kerry were once seen as radicals, eventually even former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara came to believe that the war, which polarized America like nothing since the Civil War, was wrong."

I find this extremely offensive. Just because McNamara may have changed his opinion about the war, doesn't exhonerate what these radicals did...nor should there be such an implication. There is a big difference between honest dissent in the protestation of a war, and marching with those who wanted to see the US defeated. This revisionism is almost as dispicable as their cowardly acts.
